More quotes by Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything.
Georges Braque
Art is made to trouble but science reassures.
Georges Braque
Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
Critics should help people see for themselves they should never try to define things, or impose their own explanations, though I admit that if... a critic's explanations serve to increase the general obscurity, that's all to the good.
Georges Braque
Whatever is valuable in painting is precisely what one is incapable of talking about.
Georges Braque
Whatever is in common is true but likeness is false.
Georges Braque
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.
Georges Braque
Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
Georges Braque
If we had never met Picasso, would Cubism have been what it is? I think not. The meeting with Picasso was a circumstance in our lives.
Georges Braque
One has to arrive at a specific temperature, at which the objects become malleable.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Poetry' is what distinguishes the cubist paintings Picasso and I arrived at intuitively from the lifeless sort of painting those who followed us tried, with such unfortunate results, to arrive at theoretically.
Georges Braque
